A family friend of mine has a black wife. He and her briefly considered moving to Ireland in the mid-90's. She, being a businesswoman, decided to scope out the environment there. She went to one of the medium-sized cities, and started mingling. Or rather, attempted to. She was met with near total societal rejection. Not overt racism, mind you, but simple rejection. The overwhelming majority of the native population simply could not see her as an equal, because up until then they had never seen a black person in their entire lives. To them she was a bizarre anomaly, something from another world. Many were surprised she spoke English with a British accent. Needless to say, she very quickly realized her prospects for employment or business were zero, and returned to Britain. The idea that Ireland was multicultural before the 2000's is blatant propaganda.

Interesting article by an Irish journalist who recently visited Cuba. I like Kneecap, admire their advocacy for Irish unity and the Irish language. I publicly supported them when they faced ridiculous terrorism charges. Loved the movie. But their decision not to speak up for human rights or democracy while in Cuba, even for artists censored and imprisoned there, was a lost opportunity to speak truth to power and do some good



There’s a crazy amount of violence against women on this island.







Happy Saint Patrick's Day from ICE!



The relationship between the United States and Ireland is deep and enduring. It will always be special. 🇮🇪🇺🇸☘️ On behalf of Irish people everywhere this St. Patrick’s Day, thank you @POTUS Trump for your generous welcome to the White House.


The Irish Prime Minister in the White House just now “Winston Churchill was a Great War time leader”.
